Week 5 Assignment Evidence-Based Project, Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews
Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size? Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews NURS 6052
In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.
To Prepare for Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews NURS 6052:
Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest for the Assignment.
Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question.
Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.
The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)
Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews NURS 6052
Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:
Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected. Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews NURS 6052
Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected.
Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.

+++++
An example of how you can create a PICO(T) question for your clinical issue of interest:
Population: Nurses in healthcare settings
Intervention: Implementation of patient safety practices
Comparison: No implementation of patient safety practices
Outcome: Reduction in adverse events and patient harm
Timeframe: Within the last 5 years
PICO(T) question: In nurses working in healthcare settings, does the implementation of patient safety practices, compared to no implementation, lead to a reduction in adverse events and patient harm within the last 5 years?
The four research databases you can use to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles are:
CINAHL Complete
PubMed
Cochrane Library
Scopus
You can use a combination of keywords such as “nursing,” “patient safety,” “adverse events,” “patient harm,” and “implementation” to search for relevant peer-reviewed articles.
